Anemone Coral [Goniopora arbuscula]
Description
Goniopora arbuscula often grows in branching or bushy forms, with polyps that extend from the tips and surfaces. Divers may find it in reef areas with steady water movement, where the colony’s polyps look especially active. The result is a striking mix of branching structure and soft, anemone-like “feathers.”
